Lapointe first gained national attention as the 2001 Festival international de la chanson de Granby winner. His self-titled 2004 album and the platinum La forêt des mal-aimés established a theatrical form of francophone pop built around piano, chanson, orchestral colour, visual art, and carefully directed stage work. Across more than two decades he has collaborated with artists from popular music, classical music, and contemporary art, including Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Sophie Calle, David Altmejd, Nicolas Party, Mika, Clara Luciani, and Albin de la Simone. His collision-reviewed principal Spotify catalog in Canada contains twenty-nine album and single containers from May 4, 2004 through January 23, 2026. Spotify classifies nineteen as albums and ten as singles; MusicList identifies the five-track Les vertiges d'en haut as an EP, producing nineteen albums, one EP, and nine other singles. The current catalog includes film scores, orchestral and live projects, collaborations, and Treize chansons démodées pour ceux qui ont le cœur abîmé, an expanded 2026 edition of his 2025 album. Current activity also includes a 20th-anniversary La forêt des mal-aimés vinyl project and 2026 concerts in Quebec and France. ADISQ named him Male Artist of the Year in 2025 and awarded Dix chansons démodées pour ceux qui ont le cœur abîmé Adult Contemporary Album of the Year. His official biography reports 26 ADISQ-recognized projects, including 15 Félix awards received personally, and French honours as both Chevalier and Officier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
